Finals: These are Times of Insanity
My sincere attempt to not spam my blog like I did yesterday will involve me keeping the write-a-post window open all day (from yesterday through mid-day today). I think that we will all appreciate it more this way!
10:29am: I've felt sick to my stomach today and yesterday. I'm hoping that it's stress. If I actually get sick...well, not really sure what I'd do. FREAK OUT, that's for sure. Today, my goal is to *not* watch 3 episodes of Angel and 2 episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender, like I did yesterday. Possibly, only one of each. Maybe I shouldn't watch Angel at all. Let's see how this goes. Right. Studying. Reminder to self: Your Genocide midterm is tomorrow. Okay. Am scared now. Off to study.
2:30pm:
I almost cried when Sokka/Katara's dad stumbled out of the tower coughing, and both of them yelled, "Dad!" Also, Sokka getting on Appa to lead the invasion in place of his father was badass. As was him and Toph totally pwning Azula, and Sokka's, "WHERE. IS. SUKI?" OMG I LOVED HIM HERE. I find it funny that all the characters on the show are in love with Katara and Sokka. lolol. If this was Revolutionary Girl Utena, they would be in love with each other! But.....yucky.
Zuko pwning his father was neat, even though I find Zuko tiresome, as a rule. I also enjoyed Aang and Katara pwning the Fire Nation airships (yes, "pwning" is the operative verb in this episode!). I also liked Aang crying at the end. I like that Aang has "missed" his chance twice now. Things don't always go the way they're supposed to.
Do we know how Azula and Lord Ozai knew Aang & Co. were coming? Did Zuko tell them? Or is there a mole to worry about?
As for the Wester Air Temple....I lol'ed at Zuko's "Why am I so bad at being good?!" cry of DESPAIR.
But my favorite part of the episode was probably Katara's death threat to Zuko, which was the shizzle.
I still feel like while Aang is definitely in love with her, I'm not so sure about her feelings for him. I'm not as creeped out by the Avatar characters falling in love while being so young. It's not like they're doing anything beyond kissing, and I'm pretty sure I had 8 crushes every day when I was that age.
5:20pm: Chad decides he shouldn't take the time to go grocery shopping today. I hesitate, but then agree. My final is tomorrow morning, and I can go for groceries later in the day and not feel so badly about it.
I retrieved my Women's Studies paper from campus today.The grade was lower than I had hoped, but about what I expected (maybe even higher than I had expected). I also picked up my resume from Career Services, which now has suggestions written all over it (so much for my Uber Secret Plan for Job-Getting, which I've decided was unnecessarily secr
et). Step 2 = fixing the resume, and then going to a meeting with a Career Advisor on Wednesday.
6:22pm: Regarding the latest episode of Angel.....OMGDOYLE!
Must study now. I feel like I'm about to be violently ill. This better not keep up. I spent my entire senior year of high school feeling sick after every time I ate, but I thought that I had figured out why. Stooooopppp, please.
6:51pm: A REVELATION. I had thought that the grade I received on the paper I picked up this afternoon was a BC, but then I looked over the critique sheet, and noticed that in every category, "Excellent" was circled. Well, what the shit is this? I thought, and then I realized that my grade was an A, and my TA's initials were BC. IT'S A WIN.
9:25pm: Why would I read old diary entries from my journal? That was really stupid. The last thing I need is memories bothering me, and falling into a pit of angst. I tend to fall into pits of angst all on my own, thank you. I don't need to remember all of the people who have made my life suck more.
10:12pm: I am such a snot. In discussion sections, it's generally hard for me to think of things to say because I find most thoughts that enter my head painfully obvious. Unlike many of my classmates, I opt not to share the obvious things. But, in reviewing the notes for tomorrow's midterm, I keep reading tallies in the the margin recording how many times I participate, so that I'm sure to do it at least once every week. Usually, there are one or two tallies - occasionally, there are three. But there was one very active participant (there always is), and because I'm a jerk like that, I decided to keep a tally for him as well. His tallies are more like 11, 13, 8, 10, and one particularly special week, which was 20. Sometimes, I wish that we were allowed to write reviews of our more vocal classmates, in addition to our professors and TAs.
8:40am: Am feeling very ill again, after eating. In fact, this morning I felt ill while I was eating, and had to stop and take a break.
Oh, well. I'll leave on a bus soon, for my 10:05am final. Because I am that kid, the one who gets to the lecture hall 40 minutes early just because she knows that's one part of the exam that she can handle - showing up.
12:35pm: Well, I'm done with one of my classes. I really need to eat something. Probably ramen.

Woo!
For groceries, in a pinch you could phone over here. [Realized that she herself is out of milk and still in pajamas.] Well, in theory at least.

I show up that early just in case the test moved. I'm *that* kid--the one that doesn't write down the right time and place. (Ask my how I nearly missed a flight to the US one time!) But I have a friend who showed up for a test on the wrong day (a day late), so in the scope of things, it's not so bad.
The test that you picked up and got an A on--is this the WS paper that you've been freaking out about?

Yes, I did freak out about the WS paper. Although, I freaked out more about my genocide paper, which I knew was horrible. Ended up with an 85% on it. I think I'll post about how I feel about this behind a locked entry, ;)
